Jiang Ying is indeed a little clever. But it is impossible to expect a fifteen-year-old girl to have the depth and heart of a forty-year-old woman. Therefore, when Jiang Ying opened her mouth timidly, Ye Qinglan was not too surprised.
"Auntie, I'd better move out of Huancui Pavilion!" Jiang Ying said softly.
As expected, Mrs. Jiang frowned: "What's wrong? Is it Sister Ning..."
"No," Jiang Ying quickly took over: "Cousin Ning is very good to me. But I think living in Huancui Pavilion would disturb cousin Ning too much. So I think it's better to find another place to live."
Although she said it very tactfully and did not mention the grievances she suffered, how could Mrs. Jiang not understand the meaning of her words?
Jiang's face darkened slightly and glanced at Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning had already been mentally prepared and responded calmly: "Why did Cousin Ying suddenly say these words? Do you think I have neglected you?"
Jiang Ying forced a smile: "It's nothing, cousin Ning, don't worry too much. I just think living in Huancui Pavilion is too annoying..."
"If cousin Ying really felt that living in Huancui Pavilion would disturb people's peace and quiet, she should have told her grandmother yesterday that she would just live in the eighth cousin's yard." Ye Qingning twitched the corners of her lips, her eyes full of understanding.
Mocking: "But now I have only stayed in Huancui Pavilion for one night, and I am telling my grandmother this again. Doesn't it make my grandmother misunderstand and think that I am treating my guests slowly?"
Jiang Ying didn't expect Ye Qingning's words to be so powerful, and she couldn't hold back her smile: "Cousin Ning misunderstood, I didn't mean that..."
Ye Qingning glanced at Jiang Ying with some impatience, and then said to Ms. Jiang aggrievedly: "Grandma, it seems that cousin Ying really doesn't want to stay in Huancui Pavilion anymore. I don't dare to stay any longer, so I'd better ask grandma to give me some money."
Cousin Ying, please arrange a place to stay!"
This move is really powerful, even knocking down and rake!
Ye Qinglan lowered her eyelids, a smile flashing in her eyes.
This was a countermeasure she had discussed with Ye Qingning last night. Jiang Ying was just a guest, but she showed dissatisfaction with the host's reception. This in itself was a brainless act. Even if Jiang knew it well, Jiang Ying had suffered it.
Although she was being ignored, it was hard to say it directly in front of everyone. Therefore, Jiang Ying was determined to suffer the consequences.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed again and again, and she scolded Jiang Ying a few words: "Okay. No need to say more. Sister Ying, you can live peacefully in Huancui Pavilion."
"Yes!" Jiang Ying failed to complain, but was disappointed. Not to mention she felt aggrieved.
Ye Qingning had the upper hand and felt extremely comfortable. The tenth sister was indeed smart, and she even guessed her grandmother's reaction. After such an incident, Jiang Ying would definitely not dare to complain again if she deliberately neglected her in the future! Humph!
Zheng was quite surprised by Ye Qingning's wonderful performance and couldn't help but take a look. Ye Qingning has a bad temper and it is common to get angry. Moreover, when he gets angry, his words will become even more mean. He reacted quickly like today.
The right ones are really rare. It seems that Ye Qingning has matured a lot after getting engaged.
A trace of relief flashed across Zheng's eyes.
Ye Qingning felt more and more comfortable and happy when Mrs. Zheng looked at her like this. It was indeed a good idea to let the tenth sister live together in Huancui Pavilion. With the tenth sister here, dealing with Jiang Ying would be a piece of cake!
At noon that day, Jiang specially asked Jiang Ying to come down. She knew that she must be given a "face-to-face instruction".
"Sister-in-law, you have to keep a close eye on eldest brother these days." Ye Qingning reminded Cui Wan jokingly: "Don't let Jiang Ying have the opportunity to get close to eldest brother."
Cui Wan smiled bitterly, her eyes full of bitterness and self-deprecation. Ever since she was forced to nod her head and agreed to Ye Yuanwei's concubine, she had never smiled happily again.
Ye Qinglan remained silent. Then she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, you must hold on at this time. Even if it is not for yourself, you must think about it for Sister Qiao."
Being a mother means being strong. As soon as Cui Wan mentioned Qiao Jie'er, she cheered up: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
She and Ye Yuanwei have been husband and wife for five years, and their relationship has always been harmonious. Now Ye Yuanwei has to take a concubine for the sake of his son. From an emotional point of view, he actually owes Cui Wan some debt. As long as Cui Wan insists, Ye Yuanwei will never take the initiative to see Jiang Ying.
Seeing that Cui Wan had regained her composure, Ye Qinglan finally felt relieved and comforted her with a smile: "My cousin is willing to listen to you, which means that I only have you in my heart. You don't have to worry that other women will steal my cousin away. Who is yours?"
You can’t take it away either!”
Although Cui Wan is a married woman, she is shy. After hearing these words, her face turned slightly red, but her mind gradually calmed down.
Ye Qinglan is right. Jiang Ying is not even a love rival, and she will never give Jiang Ying an opportunity!
I don’t know what Jiang said to Jiang Ying. In short, when Jiang Ying appeared again, she was smiling, and it seemed that the incident in the morning had no impact on her. She was talking to Cousin Ning, who was very affectionate.
She wanted to act, but Ye Qingning was too lazy to talk to her. Jiang Ying didn't feel embarrassed at all, or she concealed her embarrassment very well. She chatted with Ye Qinglan for a long time.
Ye Qinglan led Jiang Ying to talk without leaving a trace, and tried to figure out Jiang Ying's temperament through the subtle changes in Jiang Ying's movements and expressions when she spoke.
When Jiang Ying spoke, her eyes wandered, and she always looked around from time to time. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Ying has a lot of thoughts, and she is obviously not a peaceful master. With Jiang's support behind her, this girl should not be underestimated.
…
In the next two or three days, with Cui Wan's efforts and Ye Yuanwei's cooperation, Jiang Ying had no chance to see Ye Yuanwei, let alone get close.
Jiang Ying was obviously a little frustrated. But for a girl who had not left the court, no matter how bold she was, she couldn't take the initiative to inquire about Ye Yuanwei's whereabouts. Although she was anxious, she had nothing to do.
After Jiang learned about this, her face became very ugly, and she glared at Jiang Ying displeasedly: "It's really useless. I've been here for a few days, but I haven't even seen Yuan Wei's face."
Jiang Ying looked aggrieved: "Auntie, you can't blame me. Although I live in Huancui Pavilion, Ning's cousin Lan refuses to pay attention to me at all. Every time I go to Luomei Courtyard, cousin Yuan Wei is not there either.
"She can't take the initiative to stay in Qinfang Garden!
Jiang snorted softly. She also knew that this was all Cui Wan's fault, and she deliberately did not let Ye Yuanwei and Jiang Ying have a chance to come into contact...
Jiang Ying glanced at Mrs. Jiang and begged cautiously: "Auntie, can you help me?"
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes angrily: "Have I not helped you enough? I have worked hard to get you to marry into the house." First, he forced Cui Wan to agree to Ye Yuanwei's concubinage, and then immediately
Bringing Jiang Ying to the house. As the saying goes, the first to get the moon is those who are near the water. How can we not take the initiative in this kind of thing?
Jiang Ying lowered her head and remained silent.
She is not stupid. She actually understands what the Jiang family wants to use her for. But she really doesn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. She is not the only concubine in the Jiang family, but she stands out because of her appearance.
Only if she is smart and smart will she be favored by Jiang. If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know what fate is waiting for her. Therefore, she must seize this opportunity...
Jiang's voice rang out: "Okay, I know about this. I will help you create opportunities to meet. However, whether you can impress Yuan Wei's heart depends on your own methods."
Jiang Ying felt happy and responded respectfully.
That evening, as soon as Ye Yuanwei stepped into the gate of Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, he was caught by Mother Lu who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Young Master," Mother Lu said with a smile on her face, "the old lady hasn't seen you for a few days. She asked me to wait here. When you come back, I will invite you to Changhe Hall to talk."
Ye Yuanwei raised his eyebrows and hummed lightly.
In the past few days, things have been turbulent in Uncle Changyuan's house. As the protagonist, Ye Yuanwei naturally cannot know everything. However, out of guilt and consideration for his wife, he chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He deliberately wakes up early every day
After going out, I deliberately returned home late in the evening. I rarely went to Luomei Courtyard, and it was far away from Huancui Pavilion, avoiding all opportunities to meet the young lady from the Jiang family.
He is not a person who cares about sex, and he is not really enthusiastic about taking concubines. However, inheriting children is a responsibility that all men cannot escape. Therefore, he did not refuse Zheng's arrangement. He was not satisfied with the Cui family's move to send a concubine.
He won't refuse. But this doesn't mean that he will let others manipulate him at will.
Even if the young lady from the Jiang family is as beautiful as a fairy, he has no interest in her.
Jiang's wishful thinking was destined to fail.
Ye Yuanwei deliberately slowed down his pace, and then winked at the boy next to him. The boy was very smart and immediately understood what Ye Yuanwei meant, turned around quietly, and trotted all the way to Qinfang Garden.
At this time, Cui Wan was learning to walk with Sister Qiao.
Ye Qingning was always impatient and stood aside bored. But Ye Qinglan squatted down enthusiastically and waved to Sister Qiao with a smile: "Sister Qiao, be good and come to my aunt."
Sister Qiao blinked her big eyes and moved cautiously, her little body swaying. Cui Wan stood aside nervously, lest she fall. With a bunch of maids and women, the momentum was really big.
With the encouragement of everyone, Sister Qiao finally took a dozen steps and successfully threw herself into Ye Qinglan's arms.
Ye Qinglan happily hugged Sister Qiao and kissed her hard twice.
There was a smile on Cui Wan's lips, and her mood that had been depressed for many days suddenly improved. Ye Qingning also smiled, but deliberately said angrily: "No wonder Sister Qiao doesn't recognize me as her biological aunt, and only recognizes her tenth sister!"
Ye Qinglan chuckled: "You can't blame me. I'm born to be lovable, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Cui Wan was amused, and the maids and women also snickered. Ye Qingning rolled his eyes indecently.
While they were laughing and joking, a young boy with fine features hurried over and said to Cui Wan: "Young mistress, the eldest young master has been invited to Changhe Hall by Mother Lu."
What?
Cui Wan's expression suddenly changed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
